Half #6 and some other random stuff

Happy Friday, beautiful people!! It's been a few days, so let me catch you up on me. I know I'm so interesting and you're just dying to know! Right?? Anyway. This was my first full week of 100 mile ultra training. I run on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. I didn't get in all the miles I was supposed to, but this week will be much better! I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I have days where I'm barely hanging on. Yesterday was that day. I was able to get outside for a 3 mile run, and it was glorious. Just me and Daughtry.

Here's the lowdown on my hair. It is crazy thick. And I love doing new things to it, so it's pretty damaged too. The other day I saw a curling iron while I was out shopping and thought hey, something I haven't tried before! So I bought it. And...this happened.

Yea, that was fun. How the heck do people use these things? I'll just stick to my straightener from now on!Sunday I'll be running the LSC half marathon. It'll be half #6. I can't wait! The morning temp is supposed to be 28, so I'm not looking forward to that. I detest cold weather! I ran this race last year and it rained and sleeted the whole time. It was pretty miserable. I'm thankful this time it'll be sunny. I somehow got an 18 minute PR and finished in 2:25. I'm hoping I can beat that time again! I'm feeling sorry for Charlie today. Doesn't he look pitiful? He got neutered yesterday so has to wear this thing so he doesn't lick himself and cause an infection...ewwww.

I haven't used that kind of curling iron for that very reason. I am even reluctant to use the round brush! And this weekend is going to be a catch up on all the c*ap that I didn't get done last weekend. lol

I could never use a curling iron like that one!! It would get stuck for sure! Try the smooth irons or even the barrel ones they have out know. My daughters love them!! Good luck on your half! Have a great weekend:)

awww..poor charlie! He looks better than my dog when he wears a cone..he doesn't know how to sit with the thing or walk up the steps..he keeps running into the step..Good luck on your half! Maybe the cold will help you run faster for another PR!

What is with the prongs on the curling iron? Get a curling iron with no prongs and you should be good!! Used it last night to girl my hair for a night out! And BTW, you are my idol.. I can't even imagine a 100 mile race...you go girl!
